The Sinnis would be my choice ,as you can refuel without taking all the camping gear off the back. :idea: Any one want a GS500F ??

By preference, for a new 'un I'd go with the Sinnis Hero. It is, essentially, a Yamaha Cygnus.

Sinnis took over the distribution when Yamaha dropped the model. 8-)

See note 4 from Ged, Gforce has a Sinnis Hero, they are re-badged Yamaha so no problems with quality, does Jake not want the CG125?

I went to try one out yesterday.

Even in my compromised state the Hero is comfortable for me at 5'11" and a 33" inseam. Crackin' motor too, the latest version of the GY6, and fuel injected with a decent map. Combined brakes that work marvellously, great build quality and £1700 brand new.

What I can't understand is why there ain't one parked in my garage right now! :shock:

I Think the only thing is the resale value,its going too lose a lot of money after 1 year,you buy a Honda vision 110 [esp] its going to hold its value. :?

Anyone actually *got* a Sinnis Hero ? I'd be interested in opinions.

Not worried about the depreciation, I generally ride stuff till it croaks - more the build quality & reliability.

Must fit a helmet under the seat...
